Q: Man, do you have to cry?

Holy ribs! I made one of the best bak kut teh I’ve ever tasted. It was scary how happy I was because of some food. It reminded me of my days in Kalamazoo and Malaysia. The skies over at Baltimore city were not always sunny. There were hard times when I wanted to run away or give up, but then it was only because that rain fell that the seed of these emotions sprouted and the flowers of deeper understanding could bloom. I know now who will stay by my side and who won’t. Thank you to those of you who always listened to everything I had to say until I was finished. Thank you to those of you who played games with me until the mornings come. No matter how many times or how high I drove you up the wall, you never ran away from me. I’m sorry I gave you so many headaches.

So to all my friends who have walked into my life and left their mark, thank you for staying with me until this every day.

Cried,
Vonnie S.
